Embedded Systems Testing

Testing computing technology that does
not have a visual interface.

AppLabs well-defined embedded systems testing practice covers the spectrum of computing technology that does not have a visual interface. Our embedded systems testing practice services help fulfill customers’ demand for innovative, higher-performing products while addressing safety-critical issues, time-to-market and cost pressures.

In today’s world close to ninety percentage of the value of embedded systems constitute the software that runs them. Understanding and appreciating the importance of testing and validation across the entire product architecture of such ‘intelligent’ devices be it the wireless and GPS infrastructure behind the handheld gadget, the internet router for e-mails, air traffic control systems, systems in automobiles, medical instrumentation systems, software in printers / scanners, the big screen home theater and the like, is at the core of AppLabs’ embedded systems testing offering.

The seven major aspects considered by AppLabs during embedded testing to evaluate whether the application's behavior, performance, and robustness match our customer’s expected criteria:

If out of the box thinking and creativity are important in applications testing, in embedded testing this is imperative. As both software and hardware designs are developed, behavioral modeling and simulation of requirements is done to provide early validation of the subsystem solutions. As physical prototypes are built, AppLabs conducts unit testing and string testing of software across subsystems and integrated testing of software across the entire product architecture. This phase is supported by increased automation to promote completeness and efficiency.

Running code review/analysis on hardware emulators and hardware simulators is another method followed by AppLabs to validate compatibility. Simulations to create real world situations and understanding behavior of the code in such ‘real-life’ situations ensure a perfect release for our customers.
